Being from or having lived in a place for long time. Also being an nth generation resident. Just sticking with what you were born into isn’t something to be proud of.

If you have a yard, a pickaxe, a digger bar, and a hand truck. A hi-lift jack is also one of my favorite tools. Never would have bought these but sort of happened into having them and if they were lost or something I’d buy them again without a second thought.

You will probably want to do something in the dirt at some point (sprinklers, electrical lines, landscaping, etc) and a pick is super useful when you need to trench or dig in hard or rocky ground. Same with a digger bar but it can also double as a large pry bar.

My hand truck gets used for moving everything from new/old furniture to rocks and logs around the yard. Just makes moving stuff easy.

I’ve used my hi-jack lift a lot more than I thought. Used it to pull up fence posts, raise walls when I built a shed, works for changing tires, can be used as a winch, used it to hold up gates I was hanging, just a surprisingly useful tool.

Last one I’ll add is a vice - very helpful to have when you need a third hand.

Glue gun and vaccum - corded because I’d be doing these jobs inside where I know I have easy access to outlets. But generally, I’ve realized that cord/cordless are just two different tools. Chose which to buy based on the size of the job and the frequency you do it (which sort of translates to how many battery charges a job would take vs time/hassle to run an extension cord). But also consider having one of both if you actually have two use cases.

Definitely recommend choosing one brand of cordless tools to buy so that they can share batteries. Also have at least one more battery than tools and put chargers in an easy to access place so they can just stay plugged in all the time.
